Tooth-Coloured White Crowns
A crown (often known as a ‘cap’ to patients) is a tooth shaped restoration that is placed over a prepared tooth.
It is mainly used to restore a natural tooth’s shape, size and also to improve the appearance of your smile. There are different types of tooth-coloured crowns available, some even included under NHS treatment.
- Metal-Bonded Crowns – Also known as Metal-Ceramic Crowns. These are crowns which have white porcelain-fused to metal and are regularly used within NHS dentistry.
- Metal-Free Crowns – Also known as ‘white’ or ‘tooth-coloured’ crowns. These do not have any component of metal and are made from specialist materials such as zirconia, e-max, lava etc thereby allowing far superior aesthetics and can readily match the shine and translucency of natural teeth.
- Gold Crowns – available using real gold or alternative metals.
Crown Treatments
Treatments times for crowns can be anything for as little as one week to a few weeks. A crown may be needed for a variety of reasons:
- A tooth that has been broken or damaged.
- A tooth that has had a root filling put in (a crown is needed to protect the tooth)
- For aesthetic reasons, patients looking to cover up any discoloured fillings.
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking e.g. following endodontic treatment
